Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning machinery technology, specifically to a cleaning tank device. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass tempering process, during chemical tempering (ion exchange treatment), pretreatment before tempering includes steps such as cutting and edge grinding. After cutting and edge grinding, some dust and glass fragments may remain on the glass surface. Any dirt or dust can leave pits and dents on the tempered glass surface during the tempering process. Furthermore, once these impurities enter the tempering furnace, they can adhere to the ceramic rollers, causing scratches, increasing wear, and shortening the rollers' lifespan. Impurities on the surface of the raw glass sheet also significantly affect the tempering process and consequently the properties of the tempered glass.

[0003] To ensure the cleanliness of the glass, the cleaning process involves multiple steps. The equipment in each step is not tightly connected, often requiring additional handling to move glass products from one step to the next. This inflexible material handling method affects the production cycle and efficiency, and also increases the risk of glass products re-contaminating with dust after contact with the outside environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems of inflexible handling, low production efficiency, and difficulty in consistently controlling the cleanliness of glass during the glass cleaning process in existing glass tempering technologies, this application provides a cleaning tank device.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In this specification, the dimensions of the drawings do not represent the actual size ratio. The drawings are only used to illustrate the relative positional relationship and connection relationship between the components. Components with the same name or the same reference numeral represent similar or the same structure, and are limited to illustrative purposes.

[0028] Figure 1 This is an overall schematic diagram of the cleaning tank equipment of this application. Figure 2 This is an overall schematic diagram of the cleaning tank equipment of this application from another direction. It includes several functional tanks 11 arranged along a certain path. In this application... Figure 3 In one embodiment, a technical solution with three functional tanks 11 is provided. These are a first cleaning tank 17, a spray tank 18, and a second cleaning tank 19 arranged in the same direction. Taking the tempered glass cleaning process as an example, a basket W carrying raw glass or tempered glass enters the first cleaning tank 17, the spray tank 18, and the second cleaning tank 19 in sequence to complete the cleaning operation.

[0029] The functional tank 11 is equipped with corresponding water inlet and outlet pipes. In addition, heaters 16 are installed on the sides and / or bottom of the second cleaning tank 19 and the first cleaning tank 17; these can be resistance wire heating tubes or other heat sources. Several sprayers 15 are arranged on the sides of the spray tank 18 to spray liquid into the tank, achieving spray cleaning of the basket W entering it.

[0030] The cleaning tank equipment 1 also includes a conveying assembly 21, which is disposed above the functional tank 11. The moving component 28 within the conveying assembly 21 is capable of moving above any functional tank 11. Specifically, as... Figure 1 As shown, the conveying assembly 21 includes a slide rail assembly 29 extending above all functional slots 11. A moving assembly 28 is mounted on the slide rail assembly 29 along its extending direction, allowing the moving assembly 28 to stop above any functional slot 11. The moving assembly 28 enters the corresponding functional slot 11 in a predetermined order to complete a specific cleaning operation. Since the moving assembly 28 can move freely on the slide rail assembly 29, the program does not need to strictly limit the moving assembly 28 to entering each functional slot 11 sequentially; instead, it can be replanned by the control unit. In fact, when the workload increases, multiple baskets W can enter different functional slots 11 asynchronously, with multiple functional slots 11 accommodating baskets W at the same time.

[0031] Regarding the transport component 21, Figure 5 The diagram shows its structure. The slide rail assembly 29 has two sets of slide rails 291 above the functional slots 11. Facing the extending direction of the slide rails 291, the two sets of slide rails 291 are positioned left and right respectively. The two sets of slide rails 291 are generally arranged on the same horizontal plane, but this is not necessary. The slide rails 291 extend along the direction in which the functional slots 11 are arranged, so the slide rails 291 pass over all the functional slots 11.

[0032] The movable component 28 is controlled to move along the slide rail assembly 29 in its direction of movement. The control system can control the movable component 28 to move to any position on the slide rail assembly 29, thus allowing the movable component 28 to reach above any functional slot 11. The movable component 28 is also equipped with a drive device 285 for driving the movable component 28 to move on the slide rail assembly 29.

[0033] To facilitate the entry and exit of the suspended platform W into and out of the functional slot 11, the moving assembly 28 is also equipped with a lifting unit 27, which is raised and lowered along the height direction of the functional slot 11. Since the functional slot 11 is usually standard, its height direction is vertical during standard installation; therefore, the lifting unit 27 is also set vertically accordingly. In some cases, if the functional slot 11 is not strictly vertical, but extends upwards at a certain angle to the vertical to its upper opening, the lifting unit 27 moves synchronously along a height extension direction parallel to the functional slot 11.

[0034] See Figure 5 A schematic diagram is provided. The lifting unit 27 is equipped with hooks 271 for hooking the suspended basket W. To ensure the stability of the suspended basket W during transport, multiple sets of hooks 271 are provided, with each set simultaneously hooking onto multiple lugs of the suspended basket W. In this configuration, the suspended basket W will be less prone to swaying from side to side during the movement of the moving component 28. See also... Figure 5 In this embodiment, the hooks 271 are preferably oriented in the same direction. In this case, to complete the hooking operation of the suspended platform W, it is not necessary to set the hooks 271 as movable connections; it is only necessary to control the movement of the moving component 28 and the lifting unit 27 to simultaneously allow the hooks 271 to enter the hooks of the suspended platform W in an upward-sloping direction. In the illustrated embodiment, four sets of hooks 271 are provided at the bottom of the lifting unit 27.

[0035] The lifting unit 27 moves up and down on the moving assembly 28 via a lifting device 281. Specifically, the lifting device 281 includes a fixedly mounted power unit 289 and a winch 288 driven by the power unit 289. A flexible rope 287 is wound around the winch 288. The end of the flexible rope 287 is connected to the lifting unit 27. The flexible rope 287 can be a metal chain, wire rope, or other similar component. As the winch 288 rotates, the lifting unit 27 rises and falls accordingly as the flexible rope 287 winds or unwinds. To maintain the stability of the lifting unit 27 during lifting, the moving assembly 28 is also equipped with a guide mechanism for the lifting unit 27. The guide mechanism includes several sets of guide units 286 disposed between the moving assembly 28 and the lifting unit 27. Each guide unit 286 is a linear sliding pair, with its two relatively moving units fixedly mounted on the moving assembly 28 and the lifting unit 27, respectively. Specifically... Figure 5 In the embodiment, the guide units 286 that move relatively linearly are the optical axis 861 on the fixed moving assembly 28 and the bearing 862 fixed on the lifting unit 27. The guide units 286 are arranged on both sides of the lifting unit 27, with two parallel sets arranged on each side.

[0036] The cleaning tank equipment 1 also includes a feeding assembly 31 and / or a receiving assembly 32. For example, if both are present, see [link to example]. Figure 3 The feeding assembly 31 and the receiving assembly 32 are arranged at both ends of the arrangement route of the functional slots 11. The slide rail assembly 29 extends from above the feeding assembly 31, over all the functional slots 11, to above the receiving assembly 32. When the moving assembly 28 moves on 29, it can stop above the feeding assembly 31, any functional slot 11, and the receiving assembly 32.

[0037] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the feeding assembly 31. The feeding assembly 31 includes a conveying track 311 for conveying the basket W, the purpose of which is to transport the basket W from the outside to a preset position in the feeding assembly 31. The specific form of the conveying track 311 can be various, such as a roller conveyor line. Figure 4 The embodiment provides a technical solution of parallel conveying tracks 315, with two sets of parallel conveying tracks 315 operating synchronously in the same direction to transport the basket W mounted above the tracks. Their synchronous operation is driven by the same power component 313. The feeding component 31 also includes baffles 312 on both sides of the conveying component 311. At the entrance of the conveying component 311, the baffles 312 gradually taper inward along the conveying direction of the conveying component 311, shrinking from an opening wider than the lateral width of the basket W to approximately the same width as the basket W. The inward design of the baffles 312 primarily guides the basket W to the lateral center of the conveying component 311. Preferably, a detection sensor 314 is provided on one side of the baffle 312 to detect whether the basket W has reached a preset position. The type of detection sensor 314 is not limited; it can be photoelectric, Hall effect, or other sensors capable of object detection.

[0038] Back Figure 2 In the schematic diagram, the receiving assembly 32 has a receiving rack 321 for receiving the basket W. The lifting unit 27 places the basket W on the receiving rack 321. The receiving assembly 32 also preferably includes a water collection tray 322 disposed below the receiving rack 321. After the basket W is placed on the receiving rack 321, the cleaning fluid it carries can drip onto the baffle 312. The baffle 312 collects the cleaning fluid and can temporarily store it or discharge it through a corresponding pipe.
